How To Navigate Vermont CPOM Laws
Is Vermont A Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) State?: No
In Vermont, the Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) doctrine does not impose restrictions on non-physician entities owning medical practices. This means that corporations can employ physicians, provided that all medical services are delivered by appropriately licensed professionals.
A Breakdown of Vermont CPOM Laws
Vermont law allows licensed physicians to practice medicine through various organizational structures, including professional corporations and limited liability companies. This flexibility enables healthcare providers to choose a business model that best suits their practice while complying with state laws.
To navigate the nuances of CPOM regulations in Vermont, many medical practices collaborate with Management Services Organizations (MSOs). MSOs handle administrative tasks such as billing, staffing, and facility management, allowing physicians to focus on patient care. It’s crucial to structure these agreements carefully to ensure that licensed physicians retain control over clinical decisions, thereby upholding the standards of medical practice.
